Welcome to the Operation P4P Team!

What is Operation P4P?

A dream.
A vision.
A secret mission.
A hope for the future of the Bride of Christ. A response to a need I've observed.
An act of obedience.
A step of faith.
Above all, a blessing to those God has placed in positions of leadership in the church, and through them, to the Kingdom of God.

     Operation Pray For Our Pastors grew out of a time when my husband, kids and I were having serious discussions about our church. After five years, was this still where God wanted us to be? Or was there another body of believers somewhere we were being called to? Were the things we wished were different in our church reason enough to pull chocks and start over again? Or was it time to get serious about investing in this group of people we called our church?

    In the end, diving in deeper won out. And because of how God made me and what He's been teaching me in, about and through prayer, I'm jumping in headfirst with a plan that is all out. My goal is to see God radically transform our churches through focused, intentional, secret prayer by lay people specifically for our pastoral teams. I don't know of any other activity or program that asks so little for what can only be a transformational outcome.

    If you are reading this, it is because somebody invited you to join us on this mission. Do you believe that God's plans for His church are good? That He has placed the people who lead our churches where they are for a reason? Do you believe their specific blend of giftings are exactly what is needed? And do you believe that without prayer support, it is possible that they will never realize their full, God-given potential as leaders?

    I don't know how prayer works, but it is only logical to conclude that if things truly do change when we DO pray, it must also be true that things that COULD change WITH prayer will NOT change WITHOUT it. Maybe you already pray for our pastors regularly. I sure hope so, and look to you as an example to follow. My intention with this blog is to humbly support and enhance that time.

    If, like me, you have great intentions of praying for our pastors but never seem to make it a habit, my prayer is that this blog will get us started, together, as a team. And as we stand united in prayer over this next ten months (and beyond), we will see God move in miraculous ways in our church. I know those who sacrifice their lives to be in ministry want to see that happen. And I want to help them in the most powerful and effective way available: by prayer.
